1949 season record—14 won, 11 lost. Won Big Seven championship with 11-7 record.
Kansas plays Rockhurst college at 3 p.m. today at Kansas City in the Jayhawkers' second and final non-conference baseball game of the season. Coach Bill Hogan will start Carl Sandefur, big sophomore righthander, who defeated the Hawks 10 to 2 in the season opener here April 12.
Jayhawker Baseball Team Meeting Rockhurst In KC
The Jayhawkers lost their opening Big Seven game to Colorado, 4 to 3, and will attempt to climb above the 500 mark in their third game of the young season. Following today's game, Kansas will play 16 conference games, eight at home and eight on the road.
Coach Hogan's club, Big Seven defending champions, has been hampered by adverse weather conditions all spring and is still a question mark in two departments—pitching and hitting.
With only one letterman, southpaw Loren Hepler, returning to the mound staff, Kansas pitching remains untested due to lack of work this spring.
Coach Hogan says, "Counting out games with Rockhurst, Colorado, and our intrasquared games, we have played only about 35 innings thus far. Sandefur and Herman Phillip, a pair of sophomores, have looked good in limited pitching roles as did Guy Mabry against Colorado, but our whole staff lacks experience and needs plenty of work to pitch topflight ball in conference play. Hepler is recovering from the flu and is not up to par as yet. Another sophomore, Curtis Harris, is untested in competition. I feel our pitching is the definite question mark on this year's team."
The Kansas hitting has been below par largely because of a lack of batting practice and intra-squard games, Hogan says. The Jayhawkers are batting .194 and have collected only two extra base hits, a pair of doubles, in two games.
"Our weak hitting to date is largely due to lack of adequate outside work, but it should improve and probably be as good as last year's, if not better," Coach Hogan said.
The team lost the services of
sophomore catcher Don Wilson over Easter vacation when he decided to pass up baseball in order to save a year's eligibility. He did not compete in football this year and would have lost a whole year by playing baseball this spring, Bill Mace, 6-foot 215-pound junior, holds the first-string catcher's berth. Letterman Ken Morrow provides adequate relief if needed.
The Jayhawkers have played fine defensively in making only three errors on 78 chances for a fielding average of .362. This year's team is ahead of the 1949 club in all-around defensive play.
Coach Hogan indicated he would probably use the following batting order against Rockhurst:

Tennis Team To Face Sooners Here
Coach Dick Kichards will send two lettermen and three newcomers against a strong Oklahoma team in K.U.'s opening tennis matches here Thursday. The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Hervey Macferran, the Jayhawkers' No. 1 man in 1949, will play his usual spot against Oklahoma. Bob Swartzelt, a transfer from Santa Monica, Calif., Junior college, will hold down the No. 2 position.
The Sooners have a big jump on the Jayhawkers, having already played 10 dual matches this spring.
Kansas will probably use two or three pitchers with Philipp, Mabry, and Harris all ready for mound duty.
The following 20-man squad made the trip to Kansas City by auto today, leaving Lawrence at noon; Pitchers—Sandefur, Philipp, Mabry, and Harris, Infielders—Voss, Cavonaugh, DeLuna, Koenig, Temple, Jim Sunye, Don Peete, and John McConnell. Outfielders—Ellis, Weidensau, Hicks, Houk, Henry Lamping, and Arnold Stricker. Catchers—Mace and Morrow.

Oklahoma has won eight, lost one, and tied one. The tie in the meeting with the Texas longhorns broke an Oklahoma dual meet winning streak at 18. The sooner loss was to S.M.U.
Oklahoma has three of the top four men returning from its 1949 conference champion squad. The Sooners' major loss is Jack Stewart, singles champion the past season.
Charles Cunningham will be matched against Macferran in the top singles position, Guy Ewton is Oklahoma's No. 2 man and Abe Ross, the only three-letter winner on the Sooner team, is No. 3. Cunningham and Ewton are also lettermen. Glenn Land, a sophomore, will probably play in the No. 4 spot for Oklahoma and the fifth man will come from the rookie foursome of Dick Land, Don Walraven, Joe Osmun, and Milton McCollough.
The Sooners have been conference champions in 12 of the past 18 seasons. The most recent team to break through Oklahoma's domination and capture the championship

The Jayhawkers will see action again this week when the Nebraska Cornhuskers journey to Lawrence for a Saturday morning match. The match will begin at 9:30 a.m. so as not to conflict with the Kansas Relays.
